Notes
- The USDA recommends cooking salmon to an internal temperature of 145°F, which is measured in the thickest part of the salmon filets. Keep in mind, salmon will continue to cook a little more after it has been removed from the oven, so I feel safe pulling the salmon from the oven when the internal temperature reaches about 140°F.
- Serving size is 1 salmon filet.
